Snail Greetings

Are you tearing around trying to get everything done for the holidays?

Bergdorf Goodmans has a bank of witty windows on 57th street about holiday communications... Remember when we used to write letters? And remember when you taped out your letters... Or let your fingers do the dailing... Of course there's always messenger service... No more Pony Express though... Or you could let your assistant take care of your holiday greetings... We used to be dependent on the town cryer. Well someone was...ahemOperator, operator, could you help me place this call?

One of the things I miss most about living in NYC is the Xmas holiday season and the store windows. Sure, Printemps and Galeries Lafeyette always do a bang up job, but there is so much more to see in NY (and the holiday spirit there can't be matched). Thanks for giving this homesick NYer a taste of what's happening back in the Big Apple! Joyeuses Fetes!

This is my favorite window series so far. J'adore all that black, red and white!! And, mice typing makes me swoon( don't ask why;-). Dear Carol, hope you have a Joyeaux Noel and that Santa brings you lots of paintbrushes and macarons. Hugs to lovely you!!!xooxox

Dear Carol, Thanks for another great year of art, humor and comment. I look forward to your blog every day.I can't help but wonder if there are (m)any other "mecs" out there who follow with me? All your responders seem to be les femmes. After more than 50 years of almost fulltime science I have very much enjoyed exercising the other side of my brain. Given any further thought to doing a "show" at Alliance Francais, Boston?? I would volunteer to act as facilitator if you wish. Bon Noel, Ron

Fantastic windows! When I type an entry into my iphone calendar, it makes the sound of each typewriter key being struck. I love it, but I always wonder if today's youth even knows what that sound is!Have a wonderful Christmas!

Dear CarolI am having a moment of heart felt appreciation for you. and your daily emails. I adore this Paris Breakfasts blog community that you are building and so grateful that your lovely and amazing watercolors & Photo's keep dazzling us with your creative talent

However you celebrate this season I send a blessing of wholeness, health and wealth to you for the coming year 2009. Best wishesJoanny

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
